Bridgend College can thank a dominant first half performance for their 27-10 win over Ospreylian rivals, Neath Port Talbot at Pencoed yesterday.
A bonus-point was already secured by Bridgend before the half time whistle had sounded. Geraint Watkin, Sam Grant, Ed Howley and the skipper, Tom Bluck all crossed the whitewash. Josh White added seven points from the kicking tee.
The Bridgend team looked completely different from the one that had lost 55-13 to Neath Port Talbot earlier in the season. Ill-discipline from the home team meant the game lost its continuity and Bridgend lost their momentum.
This provided Neath Port Talbot with an opportunity to get back into the match and they added ten points. It wasn’t enough and Bridgend held out for a big victory.
